Taipei: China conducts anti-aircraft missile war drills near Taiwan border Subsequently, Taiwan’s military has publicly announced that it is ready to face China if it starts a war.
The monarchy was abolished in China in 1911 and the Chinese Nationalist Party took over. In 1927, the Communist Party of China raised a war flag against the ruling party. Due to this, civil war continued in China till 1949. Defeated in this war, the Chinese Nationalist Party settled in Taiwan, which consists of 168 islands in the South China Sea. China claims the area as its own.
China War Rehearsal
In this background, US Parliament Speaker Nancy Pelosi made an official visit to Taiwan on the 2nd and 3rd. The Chinese government, which opposed his visit from the beginning, has now embarked on military operations to threaten Taiwan.
16 km from Taiwan border. Far away, the Chinese army held a grand war rehearsal yesterday. It launched 11 ballistic and hypersonic missiles in quick succession. The Chinese Army has said that they will conduct serious combat exercises until the 7th. Taiwan’s 6 border areas have been surrounded by China’s triads. Chinese warships and warplanes are stationed in readiness. 50 flights were canceled in Taiwan yesterday due to China’s war drills.
According to Shi Yi, the senior leader of Taiwan’s military yesterday, “The Chinese military is conducting war exercises with long-range missiles. We are watching China’s every move very closely. We don’t want war. But if China starts a war, we are ready to face it,” he said.
The government of that country has introduced a new app to guide the people due to the war between China and Taiwan. The app has maps of 5000 shelters. Guidance on what to do if China’s drones are spotted is also provided.
The US Navy’s USS Ronald Reagan patrols the border in support of Taiwan. An implicit warning has been given that if China starts a war on Taiwan, the US will enter the war directly.
In a joint statement issued by the G7 Foreign Ministers and the European Union, “Peace and stability must continue in the Taiwan Strait region. No change should be made in the present situation. We strongly condemn the war drills conducted by the Chinese Army to disturb the peace. Don’t create unnecessary tension. This will have bad consequences.
On the other hand, Russia and North Korea are raising their voices in support of China. The United States and European countries are united against Russia in the Ukraine issue. Currently, the risk of World War 3 is increasing because of the Taiwan issue.
China will suffer
International security experts have said that if a war breaks out between China and Taiwan, China will face disaster. They have said:
Compared to China, Taiwan’s military strength is relatively small. However, the Chinese army will face a huge challenge as the United States and European countries will come out in support of Taiwan.
There are 168 islands in Taiwan. The Chinese navy can easily approach only the Taiwan islands near the Chinese border. By the time they get close to the other islands, the Chinese fleet will face disaster.
Taiwan has a population of 2.36 crores. There are 25 lakh people in the army of that country. 10 lakhs of civilians are trained in the military and are always ready for war. All of them are trained guerrilla fighters.
Taiwan has anti-missile defense systems. The country’s air force includes domestically produced fighter jets as well as American fighter jets. So it is difficult for China to win if war breaks out. This is what they said.
